The fine folks at kernel.org have given us a wiki:

https://ocfs2.wiki.kernel.org/

It is very bare right now, but I made sure to link to as much important
information as possible (including the oss.oracle.com page). From what I
understand, you should be able to edit it with your Linux Foundation ID. If
you don't have one, it's very simple to create:

https://identity.linuxfoundation.org/

If anyone is willing to help with this, I would appreciate it, otherwise
I'll fill things in at my own pace. In particular, I'd like to import
our
old design docs from:

https://oss.oracle.com/osswiki/OCFS2.html

In general, I feel these would also be good to have on the wiki:

- some examples where Ocfs2 is used and why it's good there (web servers,
virtual machines, databases)

- more information on our feature set (in particular, reflink)


I should be sending a patch to update our kernel docs with the new git /
homepage links shortly.

Thanks,

Thanks a lot for doing this. Hopefully, now incorporating patches in the 
git would be faster and efficient.

In the meantime, I will work on improving the wiki pages.
